Angelica wants the Herb of Life Eternal, so Arak passes through the Scorpion Gate and ends up in a desert. There, he meets Utnapishtim, who tells the story of how Gilgamesh tried to obtain the herb to revive his friend, Enkidu, only to have it stolen by the Serpent Lord. Utnapishtim offers Arak the final seeds of the herb, but Arak decides it's too dangerous to give to Angelica. Appreciating Arak's wisdom, Utnapishtim opens a door to the realm of the dead, so Arak can try to save his friends.
